Tom Symonds goooorrrrrrn!

[Guest]

You have to wonder how much of this is about attitude. It seems that Cherro, Taka and Mose did not have the work ethic required by Robbo so they were on the excess list (this view seemed to be backed up by the way they played). I wonder if Tommy Symonds fit the same bill and his attitude had suffered at the club due to lack of opportunities?

These guys may well go on to be better at their new clubs but we will never know how much of that relates to the new surroundings and refreshed attitudes.

Agree 110% 13 geez It's not like Arona has set the world on fire in his 2 years with us we might live to regret letting Symonds go always good to have local juniors in your team now we have none.

Arona always seems to me to put in solid performances - you need that in your pack.

Robbo/POS just cleaning house with a view to 2014 and beyond, if Maubs/FPN/SKD don't show something in the first half of the season they won't be here in 2014 either.

I've just heard from my reliable source that Tommy is happy and will probably go to England. Good luck and thanks for being a Rooster.

I think this will actually be good for Tommy. Get some game time in the ESL. He may then come back to us a better more durable player in the future. Once LOD and SBW move on.

This sounds very interesting. The hate is already back with a vengeance. Bring on some more!

[mightyrooster]

Yes, but this is probably not about that. Clubs need to plan long term and maybe this is about freeing up space to upgrade the contracts of even younger, more promising players. Players like Tupou, for example. Or Langi.

The Roosters have assembled a gun squad for 2013. Let them do what they think is necessary to do the same for 2014, 2015 and beyond.

Fair point.

Excellent! I get a real kick from other clubs hating us, it usually means you're going well!
